Searching for the Perrrr-fect BLT~

﻿I just have to tell you about our lunch at the "Buffalo Cafe. I have long recognized that when restaurant choices are limited or I am unsure of what to try in a new place it's hard to go wrong with a basic BLT. I recall saying on numerous times, "No one can mess up an order for a BLT." I have been proven wrong..But it not at the Buffalo Cafe in Plains, Georgia. I placed my 'safe choice' order and they produced a Perrrrrrfect Bacon-Lettuce-Tomato Sandwich. I can enjoy playing the Tourist Role in good spirits if I can manage to be served decent food in a decent place..fancy or simple, the requirements are the same. If I had known how pleasant the outdoor garden area was out behind the Cafe we would have enjoyed our little meal outdoors. I suggest you try that when you slow down and take in Plains, Georgia. Tell them a Georgia Girl from Mershon sent you.

Here we go, gotta spend that money we just "saved" on the Burlap Deal so lets try for a light lunch at the BUFFALO CAFE.

﻿﻿﻿ ﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿

When you enter the Buffalo Cafe keep walking straight ahead past the cash register & through the supply storage area and out the door you will find this lovely lovely surprise. Sure, take your lunch with you and pop up an umbrella to make your shady spot..enjoy the back side of Main street.

Jonell found that $4.00 tablecloth at the first stop-Let's see what else we can uncover down here.

Mr Bobby here must be a really nice man. He's the one who readily agreed on the $1. each price for the burlap peanut bags. I don't think this was the first time a tourist had asked to take a picture with the warning that it would end up on an internet blog. {post script ] That would be 'Bobby Salter' I'm thinking after reading the sign outside the store.

It's time to say good bye to a little spot along the way-barely a Crossroads. I don't think the spotlight has changed the pace around here. It's kinda like the pause that refreshes-takes one back to another time-when everything was slower, quieter and seemed so much smaller & uncomplicated. It was!

Ya'll Come

[from the Bible] 1 Samuel 7:12-14 An Ebenezer Stone is a “Stone of Help or a reminder of God’s Real, Holy Presence and Divine help." An Ebenezer can be nearly anything that reminds us of God’s presence and help: the Bible, a cross, a picture, a hymn – something that reminds us of God’s love, God’s Real Presence, and God’s assistance.

Timely Thoughts

About Time and the days of our lives

Mail is sent and received instantly.

Work schedules are flexible.

Hardwood floors are EEZZ care.

Machines Wash & Dry Our Clothes.

Ditto the Dishes!

Ironing... What's that?

We often say, "Let's make time."

We can't make time of course,

But we do need to use it better.

We have longer 'talks' with Internet contacts..than family and friends.

We enjoy talking.. often saying little.

We hear ...not always listening or is it the other way around-we listen..without actually 'hearing'.

What a joy one whole day would be with dear ones in my life. We can't seem to make it happen.

These are 'The Days of Our Lives'...but for a short while.
